Ch7: Jakkrawut Majoogoen vs. Salatiel Gelig Amit RBR

Round 5

Majoogoen is throwing lead left upper-hooks and then smashing home the right cross. Amit slugs it out with him, leaning forward to grind against him with his left elbow and forearm, then hauling off to whip the body or load up on big overhands up top. Majoogoen is tiring a bit now, combos growing sloppier although he is outworking Amit overall in this one, much of what he's landing now though is rabbit punches. Majoogoen tries initiating a Muay Thai clinch near the end of the round.

10-9 Majoogoen, closer again.

50-45 Majoogoen

 

If he's well & truly gassed, this could end up being a tale of two halves...which portents a draw on my card, and considering Amit got one already on all three official judges' he might actually nick this!!!!

 

Round 6

Majoogoen lets himself be walked against the ropes and into a corner, Amit shoving against his set of folded arms with his own, then bucking off & teeing off with both hands. Amit carefully holding up a high guard to protect his mandible from straight punches and steeples his palms to catch Majoogoen's uppercuts while coming forward. Majoogoen on the run now, flurrying ineffectively. Amit marching him down, blocking, then opening up when he gets him trapped.

10-9 Amit

59-55 Majoogoen

 

Round 7

Majoogoen is attempting to reassert his dominance now, plowing Amit into the ropes with a few hard rights downstairs. Amit gloms onto him, though, with a well timed hop inside, keeping the high guard pressed in to smother him at close range and then chopping him on the jaw as he backs up. NICE uppercut by Amit pushing forward. Majoogoen is strapped by a right hand while lazily pushing a jab, his opponent borrowing a page from his own book from earlier on. Amit now stalking, ducking the feeble spray of jabs from Majoogoen, who can't seem to get a moment to regroup and clear his head, and attacks very wildly and ineffectively in bursts which Amit is able to see coming, rein up short, and block if need be.

10-9 Amit

68-65 Majoogoen

 

lol @ Channel 7 struggling to find some flattering Majoogoen highlights after the last couple of rounds. They literally just show his offensive flurries, no matter whether they missed or were blocked.

 

Round 8

Majoogoen is getting pushed across the ring, Amit driving his left shoulder into him, then ducking as Majoogoen churns the air overhead with loose jabs & rights. Amit then rolling in a high right hand and ducking again while Majoogoen is left pumping dead space. Majoogoen is starting to rededicate his energies to body punching and scores a couple of intermittent peaches with the right, making Amit suck wind and sit against the ropes for a moment, but Majoogoen is too fatigued to capitalize on these moments.

10-9 Amit (judges might've liked the late body attack from Majoogoen, though, if they were looking for an excuse to let him steal it)

77-75 Majoogoen

 

His capture and both previous defenses of the Silver OPBF super fly title were over 10...

 

WBC open scoring after eight:

78-74
77-75
78-74

all for the red corner (Majoogoen)

 

Round 9

Majoogoen and Amit rush together to meet in the middle of the ring, and Amit appears to slip onto all fours, but is given a count. Amit shrugs it off good-naturedly, though he clearly disagrees with the ref's call, but let's see if this affects his willingness to engage the rest of the round. Majoogoen is more cautious himself, if anything, maybe conserving his strength for a final round surge. Lots of posing, Majoogoen sniping one shot at a time and Amit ducking & blocking. Majoogoen tagging Amit with lead rights at a distance as Amit goes into defensive mode. A few get around his gloves and pop him on the coiffure.

10-8 Majoogoen

87-83 Majoogoen

 

Wanna see a replay of that "kd"..

edit: BS, that was a rabbit punch (actually can't even call it that, Majoogoen clubbed him with his inner right forearm across the back of the head...not a punch of any kind, the glove itself never touched him)

 

Round 10

Majoogoen seems to feel pretty content with his points lead now (having probably heard the open scoring announcement, then being the recipient of that gracious bit of hometown officiating in the ninth..) and is trotting away from Amit, peppering him with body jabs from afar. Pressing the issue, Amit claps him with some hooks across the face until Majoogoen actually plants his feet and buys some respect with a series of hard rights downstairs. Amit is fended off but only momentarily, resuming his task with gusto, firing right hands into the throat and hooking up above the ear of Majoogoen. Lots of clinching from Majoogoen.

10-9 Amit

96-93 Majoogoen
